Can You Keep My Secret

Chapter 5 - Irritated

"HAH?!" I question

"I heard he was practicing judo through middle school, and people say he is really strong!" Sunhee states, "All the guys look up to him and his grades are consistently outstanding!"

"Plus, he looks great!" Weelee says.

"I thought you hated guys too Weelee." I say. She looks at me, embarrassed.

"He's an exception." Weelee says

"He's the ray of light in our school, which otherwise is nothing but filthy boys!" Sunhee adds, "But I heard he's not even interested in girls anymore, since he's so popular."

"But people still confess to him." Weelee says.

"He's that popular?" I say, " I don't understand how these girls' minds work." Oh, maybe he doesn't really care about the maid thing because he isn't interested.

-At the cafe-

"Welcome home mas-" I start to say, "Namjoon!? What are you doing here?!"

"I'm here as a customer, obviously." Namjoon responds, blankly.

I don't get it, what is he up to?!

"Wow he's so..." Hyuna says.

"Cute!" Jiyoon adds.

Is he here to make fun of me? Or have a battle of willpower? This is a challenge, isn't it? Bring it on, PUNK! You'd better be ready!

"Welcome home, master!" I say soothingly. He just stares at me and then chuckles. mklkhjkm. This is utterly humiliating.

===

"I apologise for the wait." I say to him as I place his cup of tea in front of him. As I walk away, I feel him staring at me... Creepy! I walk into the staff room only to see chief goggling at me.

"Hey, hey, is he your boyfriend or something?" Chief asks, "he's been staring at you the entire time."

I knew it!

"Definitely not." I respond, irritated.

"What?" she asks, surprised.

The next day...

He's having fun driving me into a corner, mentally. He sat the for an hour after ordering nothing but a cup of coffee. Sigh, I've been so tired lately, I feel so sluggish...

Namjoon P.O.V

I was sitting in the classroom, finishing my lollipop as Jooheon enters.

"Oh, you're still here, Namjoon hyung?" Jooheon asks me. I hum in response.

"Hey, Jooheon, you went to the same middle school as prez, right?" I ask curiously, "Has she always been like that?"

"Well, maybe not always." He starts, "I think she started being like that in the second year of middle school. I heard a lot of stuff went down at her house, and ever since then... Wait, it's rare of you to talk about girls, Namjoon. And the prez at that."

I turn to look out the window and hum in response.

-At the cafe-

Mimi P.O.V

He's here again... Look at him eating his ice cream, UGH! Doesn't he get that people are starting to notice him?

"That guy is here again!" Hyuna says

"He keeps on staring at Mimi, too." Jiyoon adds

"I knew it! He's interested in you, Mimi!" The Chief says, "his eyes look so worried, ah, young love."

huh? worried? I look over to him about to put another spoonful of ice cream in his mouth as he stares at me. I get flustered and start blushing.
